I have ocd and social phobia so my psychiatrist prescibes me zoloft. it is supposed to treat mulitple mental disorders, but I really don’t care much for my ocd I can deal with the srtuggles that come with that. What I can not handle anymore are the problems that come with my social phobia. I can not keep a job or stay in school because of this disorder. I need to know what is the best treatment for social phobia?

I’ve taken medication, and they don’t work for me. So, how else could I overcome this? I really wanna make a change in my life…I’m tired of social anxiety holding me back. I rarely go out, and when I do…I feel extremely uncomfortable. When my friends call, I make up a reason to not talk to them or hang out with them. I want a job but I am nervous to find one.
I need to get over this and start living life.

I am so tired of feeling like a disabled person because of my panic disorder and the depression-like symptoms, and I WANT TO seek treatment, but everytime I call a mental health center, hospital or doctor, they are booked for at least a month. What do I do? I have a job, a life, and I need treatment ASAP. Emergency Rooms are not for treatment!

I’m six months pregnant right now so perscriptions are out of the question. My midwife says I shouldn’t be taking any anti-depressants or anything like that. But my boss put me on the cash register full time. It’s really hard for me to look people in the eyes, talk to them, and even associate with them. I feel as though they’re trying to pick out my flaws or something. A lot of them get really impatient with me. When these things happen, I start to get nauseated to the point where I have to run to the bathroom. My social anxiety is really getting to me. I’ve never been a people person, but I’m determined to keep this job because I want financial income for this baby. Does anyone know how to cope with social anxiety at work without taking perscrips?
